Jesse Prado, hired to examine Uvalde police actions during the Robb Elementary massacre, never removed his hat while reporting findings to city council.
Hot rage over a perceived lack of accountability for the inaction of the Uvalde Police Department during the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School found an unlikely target Thursday: a white cowboy hat worn by retired Austin police detective Jesse Prado.
Myers, pastor of Uvalde's Tabernacle of Worship church, approached the microphone. After speaking for a few moments about the paucity of answers families have received from city officials, he pointed to Prado, who was sitting stoically nearby. “And you, John Wayne,' he said bitterly. 'Have the decency to take off your hat in reverence to the people. Take your hat off!” Several in the crowd applauded in agreement. “Damn! Take your hat off!” shouted one man.
